    Ive been trying to get my teeth looked at for over 2 months at this facility. Ive been having to be put on antibiotics for at least a month. They are refusing to bring me and others to get something done about our teeth. They keep making excuses and its putting my health at risk. My teeth are so bad that the infection has it where my ear has so much pressure it feels like its going to pop. I understand they want to get paid from the insurance but we have to get our teeth done and there are only certain days they will help you at the stew pot. This company needs to be on top of peoples health. It shouldnt be just about a check.

    Dear Better Business Bureau,

    We are writing in response to the complaint filed by a client of ours with the initials of E.S. regarding their experience with our substance abuse treatment facility. We take all feedback seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised.

    We regret any inconvenience or discomfort experienced by the client in accessing dental care while at our facility. The health and well-being of our clients are paramount, and we are committed to providing timely and compassionate service to all.  

    Upon receiving the complaint, we promptly initiated an internal review to better understand the circumstances surrounding his challenges in obtaining dental care while in our treatment program. We empathize with E.S. and others facing similar difficulties in scheduling dental appointments, especially considering the limited availability of free dental clinics in the DFW area and the resulting delays in receiving care.

    Despite this hurdle, we made multiple attempts to support the client in obtaining a free dental appointment, understanding the urgency of their situation and the importance of addressing their dental needs promptly. It's important to clarify that we would have prioritized E.S urgent dental needs if any viable options were available.  However it is also important to understand the nature of our business as an addiction services provider - not a dental practitioner.

    Dental services are not included in the services offered by Discovery Point Retreat. We specialize in providing substance abuse treatment services and do not cover dental care as part of our offerings.

    As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we are taking proactive steps to address the issues highlighted in E.S's complaint. This includes collaborating with dental providers and academic dental clinics to streamline access to free dental care to accommodate the needs of our clients more effectively.

    We want to assure the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and E.S. that we are dedicated to ensuring that all clients receive the care they require in a timely and efficient manner. We value the trust our clients place in us and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of service.

    We appreciate the BBB's role in facilitating communication between businesses and consumers and thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

    Sincerely,

    *************************, COO, Discovery Point Retreat
